BACKGROUND

Semiconductor devices are used in a variety of electronic applications, such as personal computers, cell phones, digital cameras, and other electronic equipment. Semiconductor devices are typically fabricated by sequentially depositing insulating layers or dielectric layers, conductive layers, and semiconductor layers over a semiconductor substrate, and patterning the various material layers using photolithography processes and etching processes to form circuit components and elements thereon.

Many integrated circuits (IC) are typically manufactured on a semiconductor wafer. Technological advances in IC materials and design have produced generations of ICs. Each generation has smaller and more complex circuits than the previous generation. The dies of the wafer may be processed and packaged, and various technologies have been developed for packaging. Since the chip package structure may need to include multiple chips with multiple functions, it is a challenge to form a reliable chip package structure with multiple chips.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different features of the subject matter provided. Specific examples of components and arrangements are described below to simplify the present disclosure. These are, of course, merely examples and are not intended to be limiting. For example, the formation of a first feature over or on a second feature in the description that follows may include embodiments in which the first and second features are formed in direct contact, and may also include embodiments in which additional features may be formed between the first and second features, such that the first and second features may not be in direct contact. In addition, the present disclosure may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in the various examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between the various embodiments and/or configurations discussed.

Furthermore, spatially relative terms, such as “beneath,” “below,” “lower,” “above,” “upper” and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature’s relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. The spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. The apparatus may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein may likewise be interpreted accordingly.

The term “substantially” in the description, such as in “substantially flat” or in “substantially coplanar”, etc., will be understood by the person skilled in the art. In some embodiments the adjective substantially may be removed. Where applicable, the term “substantially” may also include embodiments with “entirely”, “completely”, “all”, etc. The term “substantially” may be varied in different technologies and be in the deviation range understood by the skilled in the art. For example, the term “substantially” may also relate to 90% of what is specified or higher, such as 95% of what is specified or higher, especially 99% of what is specified or higher, including 100% of what is specified, though the present invention is not limited thereto. Furthermore, terms such as “substantially parallel” or “substantially perpendicular” may be interpreted as not to exclude insignificant deviation from the specified arrangement and may include for example deviations of up to 10°. The word “substantially” does not exclude “completely” e.g. a composition which is “substantially free” from Y may be completely free from Y.

The term “about” may be varied in different technologies and be in the deviation range understood by the skilled in the art. The term “about” in conjunction with a specific distance or size is to be interpreted so as not to exclude insignificant deviation from the specified distance or size. For example, the term “about” may include deviations of up to 10% of what is specified, though the present invention is not limited thereto. The term “about” in relation to a numerical value x may mean x ±5 or 10% of what is specified, though the present invention is not limited thereto.

The coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch between the chip structures 122, 122', and 132 and the heat-spreading lid 190 (or the wiring substrate 110) tends to result in a thermal stress, in accordance with some embodiments. Since the portion 166 (of the ring structure 160) is closer to the chip structure 132 than the portion 164, the thermal stress in the adhesive layers 150 and 172 close to the portion 166 is greater than the thermal stress in the adhesive layers 150 and 172 close to the portion 164, in accordance with some embodiments. Therefore, the thermal stress tends to induce cracks in the adhesive layers 150 and 172 close to the portion 166 and delamination between the adhesive layers 150 and 172 close to the portion 166 and the elements adjacent thereto (e.g., the wiring substrate 110, the ring structure 160, and the top plate 180), in accordance with some embodiments.

Since the thermal stress is transmitted from the chip structure 132 to the portion 166 through the top plate 180 and the wiring substrate 110, the formation of the opening 184 in the top plate 180 between the chip structure 132 and the portion 166 is able to hinder the transmission of the thermal stress, in accordance with some embodiments. The opening 184 is also able to release the thermal stress, in accordance with some embodiments. Therefore, the opening 184 reduces the thermal stress in the adhesive layers 150 and 172 close to the portion 166, in accordance with some embodiments.

As a result, the opening 184 prevents the adhesive layers 150 and 172 close to the portion 166 from delamination and developing cracks in subsequent thermal processes, in accordance with some embodiments. Therefore, the opening 184 improves the reliability of the adhesive layers 150 and 172, in accordance with some embodiments.

In some embodiments, the length L184 of the opening 184 is greater than the distance D9 between the opening 184 and the sidewall 186 of the top plate 180. If the length L184 is greater than the distance D9, the transmission path length of the thermal stress from the corner C1 or C2 to the portion 166 of the ring structure 160 is increased, which hinders the transmission of the thermal stress from the corners C1 and C2 to the portion 166, in accordance with some embodiments.

In some embodiments, the length L184 of the opening 184 is equal to or less than the distance D9 between the opening 184 and the sidewall 186 of the top plate 180. If the length L184 is equal to or less than the distance D9, the design of the opening 184 is able to retain more heat dissipation area of the top plate 180 close to the chip structure 132, in accordance with some embodiments.

As shown in FIGS. 1D-1 and 1D-2 , the formation of the recess 162 b of the ring structure 160 is able to enlarge the distance D3 between the chip structure 132 and the portion 166 of the ring structure 160, which reduces the thermal stress in the adhesive layers 150 and 172 close to the portion 166, in accordance with some embodiments.

In some embodiments, the great thermal stress is at the corners (e.g., C1 and C2) of the chip structure 132. The opening 184 is between the corners C1 and C2 and the portion 166 of the ring structure 160 to hinder the transmission of the thermal stress from the corners C1 and C2 to the portion 166, in accordance with some embodiments.

In some embodiments, a length L184 c of the opening 184 c is greater than the distance D16. If the distance D12 or D13 or the length L184 c is greater than the distance D16, the transmission path length of the thermal stress from the corner C1 to the portion 166 of the ring structure 160 is increased, which further hinders the transmission of the thermal stress from the corner C1 to the portion 166, in accordance with some embodiments.

In some embodiments, the lateral distance D12 or D13 is equal to or less than the distance D16. In some embodiments, the length L184 c is equal to or less than the distance D16. If the distance D12 or D13 or the length L184 c is equal to or less than the distance D16, the design of the opening 184 c is able to retain more heat dissipation area of the top plate 180 close to the chip structure 132, in accordance with some embodiments.

In some embodiments, a length L184 d of the opening 184 d is greater than the distance D17. If the distance D14 or D15 or the length L184 d is greater than the distance D17, the transmission path length of the thermal stress from the corner C2 to the portion 166 of the ring structure 160 is increased, which further hinders the transmission of the thermal stress from the corner C2 to the portion 166, in accordance with some embodiments.

In some embodiments, the lateral distance D14 or D15 is equal to or less than the distance D17. In some embodiments, the length L184 d of the opening 184 d is equal to or less than the distance D17. If the distance D14 or D15 or the length L184 d is equal to or less than the distance D17, the design of the opening 184 d is able to retain more heat dissipation area of the top plate 180 close to the chip structure 132, in accordance with some embodiments.
